A Konecranes gearbox is a fully-integrated core component consisting of gears, shafts, bearings and housing. Every gearbox that we produce has been designed specifically for crane applications. Our gears have been meticulously designed down to the smallest detail to minimize cracking, tooth fracture, stress and wear. Using a complete design model, we look at the gearbox as a whole—taking into account the shaft, each individual tooth and the bearings. We model, calculate and verify to make sure the gears have the right distribution of tooth force, resulting in a very high safety coefficient against gear tooth fracture. A smooth contact pattern minimizes pressure of parts, reducing wear and the risk of damage. Purpose-built quality After we comply with all related standards (EN, ISO, DIN, AGMA), we go above and beyond to ensure each gear complies with our own requirements, which are even stricter than most recognized guidelines. The Core of Lifting gives you gears with high durability, optimized performance and maximum reliability. Contact us today to know more about Konecranes gears.
